The Chamber of Deputies and the Town Hall are two adjacent buildings, although they are not in the same courtyard.

In the imperial system, the town hall and the House of Representatives are two institutions that check each other, the town hall is the body that maintains the normal operation of the whole city, and the House of Representatives is more like a group decision-maker, and many decrees are issued by the House of Representatives.

Surdak is not only the consul of Ruyt, but also the speaker of the House of Deputies, and he is currently the lord of the Talapakant region who controls a certain number of private armies.

The afternoon session in the House of Representatives was held to get the councillors of Ruit City to recognize Surdak as their new Speaker.

And for the position of Speaker, there is another procedure that requires the votes of the councillors in Ruit City, and more than 60% of the deputies agree to become the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Ruyt.

In order to be able to help Surdakla get enough votes, Lake. After lunch, Count Cushing was in communication with the councillors of Ruyt......

Lake. Earl Cushing looked at Councillor Slim who turned to leave, and couldn't help frowning, the current situation is much worse than he thought, usually many councillors who show goodwill to him, this time Lake. When Earl Cushing talked about the election, many of the councillors hesitated, and they left without any promises.

Lake. Count Cushing couldn't figure it out...... Could it be that this group of people has in their heads?

With such a clear situation, what do they want to do?

Putting down the teacup in his hand, at noon, Count Cushing drank a stomach full of tea, and he closed his eyes and rested for a while.

It wasn't until Lady Tanya came to remind Count Cushing that Count Surdak had arrived, and that the time for the election of the council was approaching.

Count Cushing immediately got up from his chair, took the towel handed by Madame Tanya, wiped his face carefully, and then walked out of the lounge, and joined Surdak, who was waiting in his office, to the chamber of the House of Representatives.

As expected, less than half of the members of the House of Representatives came to the chamber, and the seats of the other members were still empty.

Count Cushing could only bring Surdak to the rostrum and sit side by side with him in the Speaker's seat, and a long wait ensued, until two quarters of an hour later, when all the councillors were present. Count Cushing knocked the table to stop the discussion among the councillors in the hall, and the hall finally fell silent.

Lake. Count Cushing began by introducing Surdak to everyone.

Unexpectedly, the parliamentarians in the audience did not express any welcome, and even the applause was extremely sparse......

Sit in Lake. Vice-President Glenis to the left of Count Cushing didn't even raise his hand, and it seemed that these were the two most superficial perfunctory things to do.

Lake. Count Cushing felt that something was wrong.

At such a time, will anyone really stand up and fight Surdak for the speaker of the House of Representatives? ’

Count Cushing stubbornly continued to read:

“…… Now that voting for the nomination of the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Ruyt City has officially begun, I abstain from voting, and I ask you to re-elect the next new Speaker! ”

Two MPs had placed a half-metre-high wooden ballot box on the table of the podium.

Count Leke Cushing was the first to walk down the podium, originally he was holding an envelope, but he did not throw it in, but hid it in his sleeve, he wanted to see the final result of the election vote, maybe he didn't have to vote for it at all!

Right in Lake. As Count Cushing stepped down from the podium, Deputy Speaker Glenis of the House of Representatives stood up first, holding a ballot sheet in his hand.

He walked slowly to the podium, but did not immediately enter the box of ballots.

Deputy Speaker Glenis stood on the podium and said loudly to all the members present: "I vote for myself in this election of the Speaker!" ”

The entire chamber of the House of Representatives was in an uproar, and no one expected that Deputy Speaker Glenis would come to such a hand.

Many of the parliamentarians below who had already prepared the voting sheets tore up the ballot sheets in their hands at this time, and then hurriedly picked up a ballot sheet and filled it out again.

There was chaos in the hall, except for Deputy Speaker Glenis, who stood on the podium and threw the ballot sheet into the ballot box.

"Glenis, what the hell are you doing......

Count Cushing stood in front of the rostrum, pressed his hands on the long table, and suppressed the anger in his heart and yelled at Vice-President Glenis.

"This is the House of Representatives, shouldn't we respect the decisions of the lawmakers?"

Deputy Speaker Glenis unceremoniously returned the salute.

Count Cushing turned pale with anger, and stood on the rostrum with some shaky eyes.

This kind of confrontation is basically the scene that occurs every time the House of Representatives of Ruit City makes a resolution. Count Cushing didn't expect that Vice Speaker Glenis would want to play a game in this situation.

Seeing that the scene was a little uncontrollable, Count Cushing planned to suspend the election.

At this time, the members of the parliament seemed to have changed their names, and one by one they walked towards the ballot box on the podium.

This time, however, Surdak did not speak, striding up to the podium and punching a hole in the ballot box.

The lawmakers who were about to go to the polls all froze in place, looking at Surdak and his fist with surprise on their faces, and Surdak fumbled in the ballot box to find the only ballot sheet inside.

Surdak then tore up his ballot sheet on the spot in front of Deputy Speaker Glenis......

Surdak pressed his voice and said to the councillors in the chamber:

"I'm not here to talk to you about cooking, I'm just telling you here that I'm going to be the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Ruyt City for a long time to come."

"You...... It's unbelievable, you're blaspheming the laws of the Empire! Deputy Speaker Glenis rebuked.

As he spoke, he grabbed the badge of the deputy speaker on his chest fiercely, tore it off vigorously, and threw it directly on the floor under his feet......

Deputy Speaker Glenis then angrily left the room.

The members of the parliament were also talking at this time, some wanted to support Deputy Speaker Glenis, and some people were also talking about the possibility that Vice Speaker Glenis might also have a backstage this time, and many people stood up from the seats and insisted on continuing this vote.

At the moment when Deputy Speaker Glenis stepped out of the council hall, Surdak took out a small box from his magic waist bag, which contained a stack of parchment contract documents, and it took a long time to dig through the stack of papers before turning out a parchment full of records.

Surdak shouted to all the councillors in the room, "I now officially declare that Deputy Speaker Glenis is suspected of involvement in Lord MacDonnell's rebellion, and in September 2586 he collaborated with the ...... of the Dark Arts."

"February 2587 with MacDonnell ......"

The members of the House of Representatives looked at Surdak in amazement, and no one thought that Surdak would actually turn out a piece of parchment full of incriminating evidence at this time.

It is a pity that Deputy Speaker Glenis walked too fast and did not hear Surdak read out the criminal regulations.

Finally, Surdak took out a blank verdict, quickly wrote the name of Deputy Speaker Glenis on it, and said to the person present:

"I now announce the decision of the Ministry of War to arrest Deputy Speaker Glenis immediately, and the military department of the province of Bena will conduct a military trial......"
